The Name:
Volvo is latin and means "I roll" (revolve),
a fitting name for these durable cars.

The cars are built like tanks because Scandinavians are (were) a pragmatic people prefering reliability instead of flashy features.

before the time of the SUV, the ultimate soccermom vehicle. Most commonly found in middle to upper class suburbs driven by women (or a man who has been whipped real good by his wife). Mid priced, large to mid size, really safe, ugly. Older volvos are used by people who don't have enough cash to buy a cool car, but they still want something usable.
10 years ago, that soccormom would be dropping her 150lb 10 year-old off at practice in a volvo wagon, not a ford excursion.

The most extreme wagons known to man, from Scandinavia to the West. Best with absurd stickers, fuzzy dice, and beaded seat covers that arab taxicab drivers use. It's cool when the interior fabric rips off because your friends can carve things in the orange foam on the roof. It looks like people are laughing at you but they're really crying because they know they will never be as Extreme as the Volvo 740 Wagon. It's a hearse on Anabolic Steroids that only Scandinavia could conquer.
"Now THAT is an extreme Volvo."
